Six Sentence Sunday - Cold Feet in Hot Sand
Want to play along? It’s fun and easy!Grinding her teeth and resisting the urge to cuss him out from the opposite end of the room, she stormed across the sanddusted wood floor.She was about five steps away when he turned his head, and as soon as he saw her, he mouthed “Oh, fuck” just before he looked away.The fury in her chest threatened to boil over. “Nick Wallace, you had better have a goddamned bulletproof explanation for why you’re here right now.”He looked at her again, his eyes narrow. “That depends on how willing you are to hear it.”

Some Awards, Some News, and Some Updates
Second, I'd like to announce that my first lesbian short story, What This Woman Wants, is due out in early April from Carnal Passions. Just a short little F/F erotica story for those who enjoy some fun with the ladies.And I'd like to thank the M/M Romance group on Goodreads (join if you haven't already!) for voting three of my books into the 2011 Readers' Choice Awards!
Huge thank you to the readers who voted, and congrats to the authors who also won, including Marie Sexton, Amy Lane, Heidi Cullinan, TJ Klune, Damon Suede, and Josh Lanyon. It blows my mind to be in the company of names like those!

REVIEW: Out of Focus
I devoured this book. I had issues with it, sure, but I couldn’t put it down. It’s BDSM, done right! It’s hot m/m/m action. It’s TWO Dominants. It’s people with real lives! Yay! \o/The entire review is here.

NOW AVAILABLE: Out of Focus
He’ll bend for them. But they may break over him.For twelve years, Dom lovers Ryan “Angel” Morgan and Dante James have run a successful photography business, and satisfied their need for a submissive with the occasional sizzling three-way. On a wedding job, they both zero in on the bride’s beautiful brother, but as professionals, they keep their attraction on the down-low—for now.
Jordan Steele has no trouble establishing mastery over his stallions. When he hires Angel and Dante to shoot promotional photos for his stable, though, there’s something about them that calls to his inner submissive. After a little flirtation and a photo session that gets almost too hot to handle, Angel and Dante are happy to show him the ropes. And the whip.
Once they break the ice, their sexual chemistry burns hotter than a macro flash. Everyone gets what they need…until emotions come into play. Their power could develop into something permanent, throw everything off balance—leaving one of them the odd man out.
Product Warnings - Contains lots of sarcasm, a double helping of steamy erotic photography, and two dominants having their way with one very enthusiastic submissive.

Want to play along? It’s fun and easy!
He gave a halfhearted attempt to shrug my hands away, but I pressed my thumbs in just below the base of his neck. He exhaled. “You’re evil.”
“No, if I was evil, I’d do this.” I leaned down and kissed behind his ear. Moving down his neck to his shoulder, I whispered, “Don’t make me beg, Angel.”

REVIEW: Out of Focus
L.A. Witt has fast become one of my favourite authors and I have reviewed most of her books. I like her writing style, the fact that she takes risks, and while some work better than others, her characters are always vibrant and three dimensional and her prose and dialogue are better than most.The entire review is here.

Want to win my entire backlist? Here's How.
So I'm one of those people who gets really excited about milestones, even those that may or may not be a big deal to other people. With the release of Out of Focus on August 2nd, I'll be reaching a significant-to-me milestone in my career:
The release of my 20th book.
Seven as Lauren Gallagher, thirteen as L. A. Witt.
20 books. Holy Ned.
It's kind of a big deal for me, so, naturally, I need to do something to mark the occasion. By “do something”, I mean give away some books. In fact, I think I should give away a lot of books.
Here’s how it’s going to work:
1. Leave a comment containing your name, some way for me to contact you if you win, and the most outlandish, off-the-wall reason why I should pick you.
Get creative here, folks! Tell me you should win because your goldfish wears mismatched Birkenstocks, you have a complete set of coasters made out of Nobel Prize medallions, and you can belch the Sanskrit alphabet. The weirder the better.
2. There will be two types of winners:
a. Funniest comment
b. Random drawing
3. The more comments, the bigger the prize.
a. Prize for the Funniest Comment:
If the contest gets to 20 comments, the winner receives 1 ebook
40 comments – 2 ebooks
60 comments – 4 ebooks & 1 signed paperback
80 comments – 6 ebooks & 1 signed paperback
100 comments – 10 ebooks & 2 signed paperbacks
200 comments – 1 electronic copy of every book on my backlist
(including a short story anthology, for a total of 21 ebooks),
plus your choice of 3 signed paperbacks.
b. Prizes for the Random Drawing:
If the contest gets to 20 comments, the winner receives 1 ebook
40 comments – the winner wins 2 ebooks
60 comments – the winner wins 3 ebooks & a signed paperback
80 comments – 2 winners each win 4 ebooks & a signed paperback
100 comments – 2 winners each win 5 ebooks, 2 signed paperback
200 comments – 1 electronic copy of every book on my backlist
(including the short story anthology, for a total of 21 ebooks)
plus your choice of 3 signed paperbacks.
Rules:
1. Only legitimate, non-anonymous comments count, meaning there’s a name and valid e-mail address in the body of the comment. Putting Anonymous for your Blogger username is fine, but there must be a name and contact info in the body of the comment.
2. One comment per entrant; multiple entries will disqualify all of your entries.
3. Contest closes at midnight, August 5th, 2011 (Eastern time), and winners will be announced shortly thereafter. Winners will be posted on Twitter and this blog, and will be individually e-mailed. If you are selected, you have 72 hours to contact me or forfeit your prize. (If you will be unreachable via e-mail around the time of the drawing, mention that in your comment)
4. All prizes will be winner’s choice titles off my backlist, including Out of Focus; please note not all titles are available in paperback at this time, and choices will be restricted to currently available titles only. For the most up to date list of currently available titles, please visit the Books by L. A. and Books by Lauren on my website.
5. Number of winners is not cumulative. Meaning, if I reach eighty comments, there will be two winners randomly drawn plus the winner for best comment. I reserve the right to increase the number of prizes and/or winners at my discretion.
Now go forth and comment! And be sure to spread the word about the contest, because the more people who enter, the bigger the prizes.to my publishers and my readers
for making this the most awesome job ever.
